Question

1.  	Which best describes the effect on the graph of f(x) = 5x + 6 if the y-intercept is changed to -3?

A 	The x-intercept increases.
B 	The new line passes through the origin.
C 	The y-intercept increases.
D 	The slope decreases

The x-intercept increases.

anonymous · Answer

It is not D because you are not changing the slope 5
It is not y because you our decreasing the y intercept
It is not B because you are not creating a whole new line just changing the other
YAY it is A. The more you decrease the y intercept the more the x intercept will increase. Here we can see there is a relationship with Y and X, which algebra is all about relationships
